[The awning shades you from the sun, but it doesn't protect you from the eyes and ears of other teams. Under your awning you find a small table on which there are three weights of different sizes. Discuss what you will with your teams here.]

So, we can get out of this unscathed, if we're all fine with losing.

[restorefromsave]

We seem to have no problems winning in general. I don't mind throwing a game for safety.

[Scanning the knights for Kazuki though.]

[team_mom]

[nods!]

There's no reason to gamble. I don't like to see the knights hurt, but... if we do our best to place our weights carefully, that should be enough. What an awful game...

[uneulogized]

The other option is we go on knowledge and bet according to that. Throw the other guy off and win. I think we could safely do that.

[uneulogized]

Yeah, we can also see how likely it is our weights screw things over.

[wouldntkilladragon]

Safety is better than winning.

[uneulogized]

Do we sit it out entirely?

[restorefromsave]

[No Kazuki so whatever screw empathy for strangers.]

Betting seems the least desirable option. Unless you can say you know them very well. Perhaps after the first round, but even then I'd rather just take the loss.

[team_mom]

Yes. We should discuss with the knights what they think they need in order to balance, since guessing blindly would be just as likely to get someone hurt.

[alternating]

Being safe is best, but we should try to help the knights so they don't get hurt.

[ironicusername]

I'm down for playing damage control.

[wouldntkilladragon]

...I want to help the knights. They get put on the chopping block enough as is. If we can balance them, we should. Carefully.

We may want to forgo betting at all. Us getting hurt can mess with a lot of knights.

[uneulogized]

People will bet, though. Probably.

Do you know enough of the knights well enough to balance them?

[wouldntkilladragon]

We can help without needing to bet. So we can stay safe, but still help.

[uneulogized]

We can take a read on it and hope the pairings remain the same from round to round. Either way, I know one half of a lot of the groupings, so that'll help us one way or another.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Looking over the options.]

I know a few well enough to make a decent working guess, and some to make a not completely uninformed guess.

[restorefromsave]

We can offer to place weights as they believe fit best. Beyond that I think figuring out on our own would do more harm then good.

[uneulogized]

Should we go talk to any of them?

[uneulogized]

It could be informed by you talking to them, but it might also be best to wait a round.

[wouldntkilladragon]

That too, but it's a bit easier to figure out who might need help.

If a pair doesn't have anyone approach them near the end of the round, we could try to help them? See what they think.

[restorefromsave]

Do you wish to? I have no investment in any of them. [I guess I live David but.]

[uneulogized]

Sounds good.

[uneulogized]

I like Tiger.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Nods.] All right.

[Making totally safe decisions, legitimately! \o/]

[alternating]

Yeah. I don't think we should bet at all, especially if we can help with the weights we've got instead.
